Message: I am Free
(Author unknown)

Don't grieve for me, for now I'm free.
I'm following the path God has laid you see.
I took His hand when I heard Him call.
I turned my back and left it all.

I could not stay another day,
To laugh, to love, to work or play.
Tasks left undone must stay that way.
I found that peace at the close of the day.

If my parting has left a void,
Then fill it with remembered joys.
A friendship shared, a laugh, a kiss,
Oh yes, these things I too will miss.

Be not burdened with times of sorrow.
I wish you the sunshine of tomorrow.
My life's been full, I savored much,
Good friends, good times, a loved one's touch.

Perhaps my time seemed all too brief.
Don't lengthen it now with undue grief.
Lift up your hearts and peace to thee.
God wanted me now; He set me free!

Message: I did not know ty's family, i did not even know him that well...but i did know that he could walk into a room and make you smile. He was good friends with my older brother, and i loved it when he came over to our house. He was so nice to all of us and my little sister loved him tool. He would go on family trips with us and i remember one summer in particuar when he came along on a trip to wisconsin. He made the drive so much more bearable. when we would be just about ready to jump out the window, he would say something that would make us forget that we had been sitting in a car for 5 hours. Steve and Lisa should be very proud for raising such a wonderful son. And Erin was so lucky to have a brother like ty. He was great and i will always remember him.

Message: Tyler -
Our familes have always been really close (though not in
distance)...since our parents have been such good friends
since high school. When I think of your family, you in
particular, the same two events come back to me that always
make me laugh. First...remember that trip up to the Grand
Canyon in our motor home?! Boy was that road curvy...I
don't think I can even count on one hand how many times we
had to pull off to the side of the road and stop in order
that you could throw up - you sure were sick! The second is
a time my family was staying @ your house for a little bit
during the summer. Our parents went out to dinner, and
while they were gone, you, me, Erin, Sarah, and Amanda
decided to play dodge ball down in the basement. Big
mistake - ha! In the process of our game, we managed to
knock down one of your dad's deer/elk heads off of the
wall. I remember what a panic we were in trying to hang it
back up (you even went into the garage to get some kind of
drill) before our parents got home...we thought your dad
was going to be so mad at us (and to tell you the truth...I
can't even remember how he reacted when we told him what
happened). I never knew before now how much I would
treasure these memories - I am so thankful for them.
Tyler...there will always be a special place in my heart
for you - you surely will *never* be forgotten!
Love and miss you,
Emily Lenzmeier

Steve, Lisa, and Erin - I wish I could be there with you.
I send all my love, thoughts, and prayers from Arizona.
Matthew will watch over him (and keep him out of trouble)
up in Heaven!

Message: I attended high school for a short period of time with Tyler and I'm gonna say like everyone else has that he was truely a great person. For this to happen to someone with so much potential and to someone whos future was looking so brite is a terrible thing. I will always remember him driving around in is truck with the loud motor, and always having a smile on his face. Although, he is gone his spirit still lives on.
He will be missed by many! My blessings go out to the family and his girlfriend.

Take care,
Nassim

Message: I didn't personally know Tyler, but my boyfriend Zach had a few classes with him. I can always remember Zach telling me about Tyler in his Advanced Math class, how he would always goof off and make the whole class laugh. Or how Tyler would come in everyday and complain about his English teacher. Through what others have said it seems to me that Tyler was loved by all and could always cheer someone up. It is my loss that I never got the chance to meet such a wonderful guy...but I know one day that will come true and I'll be waiting to meet you up in Heaven. As Laura Swenson said, "For some life lasts a short while, but the memories it holds last forever." Even though Tyler's life was taken from us at such a young age, the memories everyone has of him will last until the end of time. I want to send my comfort to Tyler's family and to Cara. Always remember that Tyler will be watching down on you from Heaven.'Cause there's holes in the floor of heaven
And his tears are pourin' down
That's how you know he's watchin'
Wishin' he could be here now
And sometimes if you're lonely
Just remember he can see
There's holes in the floor of heaven and he's
Watchin' over you and me. -Steve Wariner

God bless, Courtney Horner

Message: Hi my name is Nick Westerholm. I am freashmen at Ben. I didn't know Ty personally but I knew him through Erin and Cara. I also knew of him as the guy who's truck I wanted. I met Erin my seventh grade year her eight grade year and I have just loved her ever since just cause she's soo sweet. I would talk to her online this past year and she would tell me times like that she would be in one room with a guy or and Cara and Tyler would be in the other and Tyler trying to respect Erin would ask Cara to go in and check up on them. I always would just laugh, I found it really funny. I also know Cara very well I know I am two years younger then her but I still feel I have a really good friendship with her. I remember last year when they started dating she told me about it. I think if i remember right they went on there first date that she told me about on a thursday night and i remember calling her after school the next day and she was soo excited. She said she was in love he was the sweetest guy ever. Since then I haven't talked to Cara when she's been sad that I can remember. Just the a couple of weeks ago while the Eicholtz where on vacation I begged Cara all week online the weekend before he got back to go the hockey game on friday night. She said she'd try. When she got there I ended up sitting with her the whole game and had a blast, time of my life, just talking to her about her life my life problems. I remember asking how things were goin with Tyler and all she said was great. She told be she loved him. I told her I thought we should get together and hang out sometime and she said that sounded like fun, but she had to ask Ty if she could, so i had to give her a little crap about being on a leash. It was fun. From things I heard about Tyler, he was the nicest guy you'd ever meet. His memory will live in our hearts forever. My hearts and prayers go out to Steve, Lisa, Erin, and anyone who at one time who got to meet Tyler. God bless.
Love and prayers from the youngest and last Westy

Message: I didn't know Tyler Eicholtz very well, infact, I met Tyler for just about 1/2 hour on one cold day just after a snowstorm. I was traveling to my sons school to drop them off when I hit a patch of ice and ran into a snowbank, barely missing a tree. There were two other cars in the same predicament. I called the towing company on my cell phone, but they were an hour behind because of other slippery travelers such as myself. Not being originally from Fargo I was feeling pretty stupid and a little worried. Out of the blue came a pick up truck and a guy with an impish smile that lit up the greyish day, he walked over to my van and said "I'll get you out of here in a flash". I thought who is this guy? He peaked into my van and said "Hey ya guys", to my sons who were beaming at one of their personal hero's and role model. I still didn't know who he was, but he worked hard and got me out of my predicament, and even making sure I was okay. I was pretty shook. I turned to ask if I could pay him for his efforts and he laughed and said no way. He waved to my sons and set out to help the other stranded people. As I got back into my van, I asked the boys who was that guy? "That mom, was Tyler!" "Oh, I said...what a nice guy". "Yeah mom, he plays baseball with our Dad's Team", said my sons Josh and Matt, who are bat boys for Fargo North, and their Father is the Coach) I always meant to find out Tyler "who"....and thank him ever so much again, and to tell his parents (Lisa, who I had worked with on a school Fund rasising project for Erin) what a nice young man they raised. I regret, I never took the time to fiind out his last name, or that infact he was Lisa's son. I have learned such a lesson, we must tell those who have touched our lives, that they have done so. Tyler, Thank you for calming a frazzled mother and helping me. To Lisa and Steve, what an awesome and thoughtful young man you raised.
